Officers have released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Detective Constable Kenny Reeves said: “I would like to hear from anyone who recognises the man in these images or was in the area at the time of the incident.

“We have been carrying out house-to-house enquiries and speaking to residents.

“However, I would urge anyone who has CCTV installed at their homes, or dashcams in their vehicles, to review the footage to see if it captures a man on a bike in the area on Monday evening.

“This could help us piece together information and ultimately identify the offender.

“We are continuing our patrols of the area throughout the day and night.”
